An Artesian Well of Cold An.

Ell Paso Special to tho New York World.
About three years ago tho Texas
and Pacific Railroad Company UNDER
took to sink an artesian we'll 4 few
miles east of Sierra Blanco. q little
hamlet 95 miles east Of FL Paso.
The workmen put tho pipe down
about six hundred feet. when sudden.
ly an underground cavern was struck,
the drill dropped about six feet and
a current of air rushed up the pine.
Drilling ceased and the we'll was aban-
doned. the 600 feet Of pipe remaining
in the ground and and giving a con.
nectlon between the surface of the
earth and the strange subterrian cav.
ity, quarter of mile beneath.
The phenomenon did not at that
time attract the attention of any one
sufficiently interested to investigate.
ecently, however, Supt. Judy's at
tention was called to it, and his per.
sonal examination and inquiries have
developed peculiar facts about the
wonderful we'll. Gov. Brown stopped to
see it on his way here. The people near
have been in the habit of sitting about
the well in summer to enjoy the cool in
MIGRATING air that rushes up the pipe.
The current OF air GIBBS and flows like
the ocean tides. From about 1915
q. III. till 1915 y. IN. g. current OF air
rushes out Of the pipe with q sound
that resembles the noise made by g
locomotive blowing off steam. and so
loud that it can be heard for forty or
fifty yards. At 1915 p. m. the over
flowing ceases and strong suction
sets in which lasts for the next twelve
hours. This ebb and flow continues
day after day. It has been observed
by horsemen that whenever they are
in the neighborhood of this we'll
strong magnetic forces are felt, and
sparks are given of if the horses
name is touched. Recently g. man
from Sierra Blanca was sitting close
TO the well, and on taking out his
pocket-knife found q nail which he
had in his pocket clinging the knife.
He held the knife in the current of air
and found the magnetic property was
greatly increased. Several weeks ago
Supt. Judy held his pocket-knfe in
the current of air for four minutes;
and the knife is still strongly mag.
netized from the effect. The outflow
ing current of air is believed to DOS
sess remarkable curative properties.
Its efficiency is to be tested by expert.
ments upon victims of paralysis and
other diseases. The people who live
near the wonderful we'll call it the
"Fountain of YOUTH"

What He Thought.

Cases of mistaken identity. are not
always as destitute of awkard re.
suits as was the following, which hap.
pened to DR., Shrady, summer dwell
er on the Hudson. He was fond OF
horses, and was one afternoon drive
ing rapidly home, alone in his buggy,
when he was hailed by a newsboy,
WHO, mistaking him for coachman,
shouted, Say, John, can't you give q
fellow lift?" "How far are you
going?" asked the doctor. "Only out
to General Smith's," replied tho boy.
The urchin sprang to the seat beside
the driver, and the conversation ran
as follows:
Whose rig is this?"
CDR. ShradV's."
ooh yes, he's the fellow from New
York. He lives in Flatbush, by the
river. I heered of him. Do you work
for hlm?" asked the boy.
EYES," said the surgeon.
"What does he give your"
"My board and clothes"
"Cracky. is that all? Well he gives
you pretty good clothes, though"
said the boy. hastily inspecting tho
drivers makeup. ':but you could get
more'n that. Major Cornell's coach.
man gets thirty dollars q month.
Think of that!'
"But the major is a rich man, and
can afford it," said the driver.
Chow long have you been with the
doctor?"
Ever since was a boy"
"Never worked for anybody else2"
"No."
"What do you do for him2" con.
tinued the interviewer.
ooh, everything he asks me to do.
l wash and dress him, black his shoes,
sometimes clean his horses, harness
them-in fact, l am his man-of-all-
work."
els he so old, then?"
mo. he's about my age.
"Then he must be lazy"
After a brief pause came this poser
from the boy:
do you like the doctor?"
'Sometimes do, and sometimes
don't. Occasionally I get so disgust
ed with him that feel like running
away"
why don't your"
"Oh, it's no use; I cannot. 1have
to be satisfied"
"Well," Indignantly calculated the
boy, II think you are a fool:'
"But here is General Smith," said
the doctor.
"All right. By-by, John!" sang out
the boy, as he alighted upon the road.

The Women Who Smoke.

The French housekeeper delights in
her after-dinner "cigarette." The
sonora of Barcelona loves in the even
ing to wrap her black crepe around
her head and while gently putting her
long tobacco cigarette cast heart
thrilling glances from her balcony
above at the wights below. While the
German frau is fond OF her cigarette
or even cigar, and the Russian wife is
not behind her in her enjoyment OF
the weed, and even the Japanese,
Chinese. Tartar, Dutch and Soudanese
wives all like to let tobacco smoke
curl from their pretty mouths toward
the sky, the Italian signora is, per-.
haps, the most passionately fond of
the long thin cigar OF the country call
ed "Virginia." 1t is no uncommon
sight of q summer evening to see q
party OF ladies sitting in some cool
terrace overlooking the sea on the
campagna, while the music OF their
velvety language keeps tune to tho
soft splashing of the sea against the
rocky shore and sending rings Of
smoke from their fragrant cheroots.

The New French Arm.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
The Lebel rifle. the new arm with
which the French infantry will besup-
piled before next Spring, is, according
to all accounts, a wonder. and sever.
al models of the gun which have been
received here have excited great in
terest. The new rifle is known by the
name of its inventor, Lebel, and is
smaller and lighter than the rifle now
in use; the French soldiers call it "the
little gum" The most authentic de-
scriptions given to the gun agree in
attributing to it a carrying power be-
yond that OF any rifle heretofore in
use. The models received in New
York are not known to be accurate
copies OF the Lebel gun, and expert
ments with them are impossible, ow-
ing to the fact that the powder used
is g. secret compound of which the
French Government has the monopo-
ly.
According to all accounts, the Lebel
gun will carry its bullet more
than a mile and q half and
with q more certain aim than has
been possible with ordinary rifles. The
bore of the gun is very small and the
ball, which is of steel and sharply
pointed at the end, is said to revolve
at speed of q thousand revolutions
a second. In the tests made by the
French Government this bullet has
penetrated a brick wall eight inches
thick at a distance of 500 yards; it
will 60 through any kind of armor
which can be worn by soldiers, and at
distance OF more than a mile will
pass through man as easily as at
ten PAGES. The gun has no recoil un.
der fire and the powder gives out no
smoke whatever. 1t has been said
that the powder used must be type of
smokeless hunting powder already in
the market, but this is denied by the
inventor, who says that he uses an
entirely new compound. The Lebel
gun is, OF course, q repeater, and the
cartridges are so small that each SOL
der carries 22O rounds of ammuni-
ton, as against 116 rounds formerly
considered the maximum.
The French Government is now MAX
ing these guns at the rate of5OO day
at Saint Etienne, and is preparing to
turn out double that number. Four
factories, those at Chatellerault, Tulle
and Saint Etienne, will soon be at
work upon them.

Death Of Father GaIligan

Thomas Galligan, better known as Father
Galligan," or "Uncle Tommy" died at his
home in Paw Paw on Saturday last, at mid
night after an illness of five weeks, at the
ripe old age of seventy-eight years. For two
weeks the friends had been hourly expecting
his death, and it was with feeling of thank
fulness that they saw the breath quietly
cease, and leave the worn out body to rest in
the sweet sleep of death
Father Galligan was born in the state of
New York, Dec. Doth, 1909, and was married
in the same state in 1882. There, too, he
was converted and united with the Free
Baptist church. He came to Michigan in
1s45, first settling in Kalamazoo county. In
1858 he moved to Van Buren, county and
settled in the neighborhood four miles west
of Paw Paw, where two of his sons now re-
side. In 1876, he buried the wife of his
youth with whom he had lived forty-three
years. Eight children had been born to them,
four of whom are still living In Dec, 1880,
he married Mrs. Sylvia Hurlbut, and soon
after moved to this village He was pecu-
liarly fortunate in his second marriage, and
there was no cozier, happy home in Paw Paw
than theirs. The door was always open to
his friends, and he had hosts of them among
both old and young, who will miss the happy
face and hearty welcome that always greeted
them. The prayer room was the place he
loved the best, and his seat was seldom va.
cant and his earnest testimonies and joyful
responses will not soon be forgotten. As
long as he had strength to talk, he gave as
surance of the same happy faith and when,
day or two before he died, some one asked
him how he was, he answered, "'Most home,
bless God" With tender, loving reverence,
his SONS and daughter have ministered to
him, some of them being constantly with
him, and they will not forget his faith nor
his farewells. He made all his arrangements
for the funeral which was held on Tuesday
last in the Free Baptist church, of which he
was an honored, faithful member.
